Any laptops with >60Hz screen?

Since there is no standard with respect to refresh rates, and it is actually takes less time to turn a pixel from black to white rather than from one color to another, you are correct in your assertion that the refresh rate isn't necessarily indicative of performance. That is particularly true...

Any laptops with >60Hz screen?

A LCD does have a refresh rate, just not in the same sense as a CRT. As defined by the refresh rate, when a change to a pixel is needed a different current is sent causing the "twist" to register a different appearance to the pixel, and in a typical LCD the polarity of the cell voltage is...

Any laptops with >60Hz screen?

Well, the refresh rate has a direct correlation to cyclic aura I experience. When I set the LCD on my desktop to 75 Hz, which it supports, I do not experience near the degree of optical disturbance I do when I set it to 60Hz. Based on that I'd say its the refresh rate that is bugging me. If I...

Any laptops with >60Hz screen?

I suffer from migraines and need a laptop with a higher than 60Hz refresh rate. I just had to return an Apple Powerbook since it was worse than the couple of XP laptops I tried out at Best Buy. All the models at best buy had only 60 Hz in the pulldown, so essentially non adjustable. The Apple...

A8N-SLI SATA drivers needed for install?

Right, you are not following. I hook up one(1) new raptor(no OS), and one(1) optical drive, the SATA Plextor 716SA. So there are two drives in the system(as my second post in this thread states), an unformatted hard drive and an optical drive necessary to install the OS. Both the optical...

A8N-SLI SATA drivers needed for install?

They are found at POST Tried drives individually, same result. Tried different connectors for all drives in different matrix (one on nVidia, one on SI, reverse, both on each.) If the Plextor is on the Nvidia, it is unrecognized. The Plextor only is recognized on the SI connectors. I can set...

A8N-SLI SATA drivers needed for install?

They are enabled in Bios rev. 1004, and I still get the blue screen with only the Plextor and one raptor in the system.

A8N-SLI SATA drivers needed for install?

I'm trying to install XP Pro on a A8N-SLI Deluxe with 2 SATA raptors and the 716SA Plextor DVD drive. Even though I am not using the raptors in RAID, do I need to install SATA drivers for the drives(HDD and DVD)? During the install, I get the BSOD right after it goes to "Installing Windows"...

Raptor question....

That's a bad idea, here is a quote from the linked information Dahak posted: "If your Serial ATA controller or controller card do not support SSC, you should leave the jumper shunt on your WD Serial ATA drive in the SSC disabled position." Unless you are running your whole system SSC, why...

Thermalright XP-120 Issue/Problem

Regulator07, just out of curiosity did you mount it so that the pipes face the RAM or the other way? I followed AS procedure with the drop, and I too have the A8N-SLI, and noticed it took a reasonable amount of force, so I can't imagine there isn't a good interface. Not done with my build...

Lian-Li PC-V1000 / XP-120

I have the PC-V1000, mounting a A8N-SLI with an XP-120 sink. I have a Panaflo FB M fan I mounted initally, and when I put that in the case, the rear exhaust fan is fully half way blocked by that assembly. The rear fan is only about an inch from the sink/fan assembly and I am wondering if...

Photoshop scratch drive and storage

Can the scratch drive for PhotoshopCS be a partition of a larger image storage drive and still give optimal performance? Currently planning on a 74 GB Raptor for OS drive, and installing photoshop on a second Raptor with a partition for storage. I generally only amass 20-40GB of images at a...

Panaflo 120MM -- $6 + shipping

That's what I said, "adding your own wire to a dead pin will not enable the monitoring."

Panaflo 120MM -- $6 + shipping

If it is as their quote implies "pin is not active", then adding your own wire to a dead pin will not enable the monitoring.
